Razor Sharp (Sisterhood #14) By Fern Michaels
OK, I get the whole idea of the Sisterhood of Pseudo-Feminist revenge. That's cool. It's just that this book was pretty convoluted. I understood that they were going to get revenge on these philandering politicians, but did they have to spend the entire book talking about the fact that they were going to get revenge on these philandering politicians? By the time they did get their revenge, the book was over. And I wasn't quite sure what they did exactly. I guess I just didn't get it. 1420106848 This book was slow and kind of sucked. The whole point of these books is revenge and I didn't even understand what happened at the end. Disappointed. 1420106848 I love Fern Michaels and this series! I feel like I am sitting n the kitchen with these women. There are a lot of characters but you feel like you know every single one. I think it takes an extraordinary writer to draw you in and make you feel like these characters are your friends/enemies. I just had a really good time reading this book during the hectic holiday season and would recommend this author and this series to my friends. 1420106848 Way out of my normal reading range, I read this to help me choose books for housebound readers who've said they like Fern Michaels. I also hoped it would help me to understand what makes a New York Times #1 bestselling author.
I've seen her books referred to as warm-hearted, the author as much loved. Nobody has mentioned first class writing.
The formula for this series seems to be the girls (the Sisterhood) and their men gang up against the nasties (men), all the characters happily or unhappily in love. The girls win out. Some reviewers talk about humor, but I found it pretty leaden.
The action shifts rapidly from scene to scene. By book #14 in this series, it's assumed you know all the characters and their back stories, which I didnt, but have checked up a little since thanks to gr and other reading sites.
There's no attempt to make the characters believable, much of the action is slightly mad fantasy stuff.
The writing is prosaic, dialogue like cartoon captions and there are holes all over the plot.
Given her output I suspect a team of ghost writers, a bit like a writers version of an animation studio.
I will read another book from another of her series. Couldn't bear a repeat in this one.
I can't give it any stars. 1420106848 Entertaining Series by Fern Michaels. Although the situations the Sisterhood find themselves in are unrealistic, the book is more than enjoyable for pure entertainment. Definitely worth the read. 1420106848
The Sisterhood are still in hiding. And Charles is missing. There last mission was dicey without his planning abilities.
One of their friends, attorney Lizzie Fox, has a client who needs help. The madame of a high price bordello, the White House is looking to bring her down. Seems many high power Washingtonians have used her services.
The Sisterhood aren't interested in taking her down, they want the johns to be brought to justice. Can they do it? 1420106848 The Vigilantes embark on another mission without Charles. This time, they must be extra careful, as they are dealing with corruption in the White House. Should they make a mistake, their promise of a pardon will be an afterthought.
I enjoyed that this mission was spearheaded by newlyweds, Lizzie and Cosmo. It is nice to see the POV of different team members as I read the later installments of this series. This makes the series that much more interesting. 1420106848 I listened instead of read this book. All the voices seemed to match the personalities I pictured in previous books read. I love the sisters series and especially this plot that gave some politicians there just desserts. It started off slow and vague, but soon the plot started coming to light. Lots of funny parts, too. No real danger, but great non-the-less. 1420106848 Not as good as previous stories in this series, not even really sure what happened in the end.
Will read the next one then see if the series picks up again. 1420106848 I really like the Sisterhood books. There are chuckles, laughs out loud, maybe even a few tears. The Sisterhood series hold a wonderful group of characters and an easy group that you want to continue to read about. This book also has a hole without Charles. Hoping he does return to this wonderful series, but in the mean time.. I will continue listening to the series. 1420106848
review Razor Sharp (Sisterhood #14)
A Friend In Need. . .Needs The Sisterhood
When it comes to repaying a debt, the women of the Sisterhood--Myra, Annie, Kathryn, Alexis, Yoko, Nikki, and Isabelle--never forget. And now one of their allies needs help only they can give. A powerful attorney with a cut-throat reputation, Lizzie Fox has just taken on a high-profile new client--Lily Flowers, the Madam of a high-end bordello operating under the guise of a summer camp.
The chips--a.k.a. the prominent Washington politicians who frequent the bordello--are stacked against Lily and her girls. But one phone call to the Sisterhood might just swing the vote. And soon, even the highest courts in the land will prove no match for seven fearless friends determined to ensure that real justice is served, Sisterhood style.
Praise for Fern Michaels and her Sisterhood novels. . .
Delectable. . . deliver[s] revenge that's creatively swift and sweet, Michaels-style. --Publishers Weekly on Hokus Pokus Razor Sharp (Sisterhood #14)
